I am reminded of the Mexican dude I used to work with who was a huge Trump supporter and would refer to other Mexicans as wetbacks and say shit like "send them back." Always had me like "bro, you know he'd deport your ass, too, right?"

There are a surprising number of Latino Americans who are pro-Trump who don't seem to realize what will happen if Project 2025 is implemented and they're out somewhere without the "proper" paperwork.

I've been able to convince a few of them to not vote for the orange asshole by passing them along this pic and link to Project 2025's PDF. All it took for one was the mention of abortion rights being curtailed to change her opinion. A lot of people don't bother learning about policy and that just makes them gravitate toward whoever appears to be "strong" or "righteous".

You might also send some people this. There are a lot of Latino veterans.

The time limit one is amazing. It took me 11 years to get the VA to process my shit. “We lost it, bro. Try again!”

At first, I thought the phenomenon had to do with religion. My opinion changed after 2020 as Biden is Catholic, so that no longer tracks. Nowadays, I'm starting to think it has more to do with machismo culture.

[–] hasnt_seen_goonies@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think you are right about it being machismo. A thing to know though is that plenty of Christians hate Catholics. The schism between Catholics and Protestants still burns bright for some people.

Didn't understand everything but "no mas naranja" was funny

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 61 points 2 years ago (3 children)

"Fuck you, MAGA assholes*. No more orange 2024."

*pendejo, as a slang word, is not directly translatable but the equivalent of 'asshole.'

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When my Colombian wife uses it, she just means "stupid".

Chinga tu MAGA: Variant of Cinga tu madre, "fuck your mother"

Pendejo: asshole, dickhead, dumbass. SUPER versatile personal insult.

No mas naranja: no more orange

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Thank you! Google translate was not helpful

I've always heard pendejo as "idiot" but ruder.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pendejo is a word you feel moreso than you translate. "Idiot, but ruder" certainly falls under its umbrella.

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

A combination of idiot and asshole. Someone who's just stupid or just obnoxious isn't a pendejo, you have to be both.

The translation I did

Spanish: chinga tu maga pendejo no mas naranja

English: fuck your magician asshole no more orange

[–] Starbuck@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

If you take “MAGA” as the acronym, would it be more like “fuck you, MAGA assholes”

The average maga can't even pronounce quesadilla this sign will unfortunately accomplish nothing.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, some Latinos are going to vote for him. This sign is far from pointless

Maybe it is to get non Maga people to actually vote. You know, so the Naranja doesn't win from gerrymandring

Note as a non-Spanish speaker I don't understand the first word

[–] DokPsy@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's translated as "fuck your maga"

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ahhhh thanks for that! "chinga tu maga" then right?

I don't speak much Spanish so I was struggling to figure out what that first word was assuming it was all one word lol

Ay guey I fucking love this, but not $60 love it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ouch. That's how much it costs? Yeah, I don't blame you. You could probably get it made custom for $20.

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 32 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I can spray paint this on several walls for $5

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I encourage you to do so (but I hope you don't get caught)!

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

What do you mean? I would only ever spray paint this on the interior walls of a private studio.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago

I'll do it for $2.

It's been decades since it took Spanish class, but it's been a lot fewer years since I worked with anyone who spoke Spanish. And if you work with people that speak Spanish and don't pick up the swears, then you don't actually work with people that speak Spanish.

[–] lemonmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Fucking brilliant.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I have my doubts about how well the writer of this sign speaks Spanish. "Naranja" is a fruit; the color orange is "anaranjado".

[–] Bojimbo@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Naranja is also used for the color orange in a lot of latin countries.
